Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, or injury when using your

“just sit in the garage for a few
days.”
If you are getting rid of your old
freezer, do it safely. Please read the
enclosed safety booklet from the
Association of Home Appliance
Manufacturers. Help prevent
accidents.
3. Never allow children to operate,
play with, or crawl inside the
freezer.

HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.
